On this day in history, Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo starred one of the most impressive lightweight battles<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

May 7, 2005<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Diego was lightweight champion and Jose Luis was the WBC champion. None of them \u00a0was prepared to cede an inch or back down a fraction.\u00a0 Mathematics aside, it added up to a relentless slide rule slugfest, which was both awesome and terrifying in its intensity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Knocked down in round ten, Diego lost his mouth guard, gasping for air.\u00a0 Back down on the canvass from whence he came, Diego spat it out again and was deducted a point by Referee Tony Weeks.\u00a0 Utterly impossible for an ordinary mortal to understand exactly how Diego managed to get up for the second time\u2026yet he did, to nail the advancing Jose Luis with a perfect right hook, trapping him on the ropes and dredging his final reserves of fortitude to deliver a raining molten cascade of punches, with Tony Weeks wading in to save a stricken, ashen Castillo.\u00a0 An incredible test of courage and willpower, and a victory against all the odds!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
